 Has anyone come up with a Device to hold RT lid open?
Has anyone come up with a device that secures the lid on the back case of an RT in the open or up position. My wife gets her head banged every time she opens the lid to find something.

Yes Pierre at CanAMSpyderAccessories.com has a 3D printed lid holder, some folks just buy the extra strut and fittings that then hold the lid up (if you've added a luggage rack on the lid).

Lamonster sells a heavy-duty strut. I bought one when I got the luggage rack. So far it works great.

Pierre from Can-AmSpyderAccesories.com had one that works great for 2019 and older spyders with a top case.

The printed piece will not work on the 2020+ models (which I see you have). Buy the LaMonster strut. Like Old Willie I installed one a month ago. It will do the trick for sure. Install takes about 10 minutes. Easy Peazy!

Quick easy fix is a rubber small door stopper between front of lid and rear seat.

Show Chrome makes a beefier strut for the trunk lid on 2020+ RT models. I ordered mine from Slingmods, about $35.

At the Motorcycle Safety class they told me to always use my head. So I do. Were I shorter it would be a problem.

Thanks… Before I could order something she cut a small piece of wood to place under the hinge.Cheapest of all the solutions.

You may find this helpful. It worked for me.

Will the Show Chrome strut support the lid with a luggage rack installed?
